Great location. Close to the train station and food options in the area. Room was nice and clean.
Shower curtain was a little short, so there was a lot of water leaking onto the floor. As the weather is cooler outside. The AC in the room was set to heating only mode and could not be changed to cooling, or at least I didnt figure out how to change it. It was way too hot in the room overnight. Other than those issues, the stay was great.

Had a really nice stay here and in a great location. Well connected with nearby subway lines, really close to Chyeonggyecheon Stream. The staff were all lovely and helpful (even when I was dumb enough to accidentally locked myself out of my room 😅). I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning to stay in Seoul.

Room was spacious but bathroom door was damaged hard to open and made squeaky noise while opening and we had no body soap the whole time as they ‘ran out’.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
